The iconic song ‘Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla’ from Zakhm is remembered on each Karwa Chauth as it speaks about the moon. Mahesh Bhatt, the director of the film, spoke about the song and its importance in an interview with us.

Bhatt Saab, your thoughts on the ultimate Kawra Chauth song from your film Zakhm?
On Karwa Chauth, as countless eyes search the heavens, may each one also find that quiet radiance within - the one that doesn’t fade with dawn. Because true love doesn’t announce itself. It endures. It remembers. It waits - like the moon, certain that someone, somewhere, is still looking up. This was so brilliantly captured by Anand Bakshi and MM Kreem in a song from my film Zakhm.
‘Gali mein aaj chand nikla’ is timeless song on citing the moon as the beloved
‘Gali Mein Aaj Chand Nikla’. This is not just a song - it’s a tender breath caught between the sky and the heart. It speaks of love that waits, of silence that glows, of devotion that finds its own moon.
Interestingly it is both an Eid and Karwa Chauth song
You lent it an inclusive light. Thank you. Baat nazariye ki hai… When we use popular entertainment and enduring works to expand our understanding of a polarized world, we do something invaluable — we stitch human hearts that are growing distant and colder by the hour. That, to me, is the power of cinema. That is the power of music. Both can heal, both can unite — and yes, both can be weaponized. The choice, always, lies with us.
